National Bike To Work Day

Watch Video & Read Story

iPod/QuickTime Version
USA - So I got called from the StreetFilms folks to help with Friday's National Bike to Work Day video. They wanted video from cities all over the country. Only problem was, Portland was not celebrating National Bike to Work day. Don't know why.

But hey, every day is bike to work day in Portland. So I thought I'd strap and electronic gong to the back of the Disco Trike and ride in to see if I could find any bike commuters who liked to bang gongs and eat donuts.

My contribution to the video above is at the end after SF, Austin, and NYC represent. I feel I did my part in keeping Portland weird. Also, here is the 10-minute rough-cut version from my Friday morning adventure.

More info from StreetFilms

The League of American Bicyclists started Bike-to-Work Day in 1956 as a part of National Bike-to-Work Week, which in some cities has turned into Bike Month.

Bike-to-Work Day is an annual event that promotes and celebrates the bicycle as a viable mode of transportation. On Bike-to-Work Day, national, regional, and local bicycle advocacy groups often organize bicycle-related events.

Today’s Streetfilm features Bike-to-Work Day in Austin, San Francisco, New York City and Portland, Oregon.

If you haven’t already, check out the streetsblog open thread from Friday. And, contact us if you would like to participate in next year’s NBTWD film!

ASTORIA, Ore. - If you are looking for a slick cyclocross racing video, I can't help you here. All sorts of rules have been broken and I suppose that's part of the Halloween spirit. So... Happy Halloween!

This video was sponsored by River City Bicycles and The Cyclocross Crusade.

P.S. The Disco Trike is appears to be doing fine thanks to some the fine mechanics at the Chris King Tent.

PORTLAND, OR - In case you were doing better things then looking at your computer, this Saturday, like parading around Tour De Fat then you missed my live webcast and the debut of the "Disco Trike". It was quite an adventure. It was truly pushing the envelope, the bleeding edge, if you will of live webcasting disco trikes.

Enjoy the sample video from the feed of March Fourth Marching Band.

Please forgive the Audio cutouts. Our crack team of engineers at CrankMyChain.com busy are working on it. Just watch Tomorrow and see.

Below we have a video (pulled from the stream) of one of the fabulous Acrobats from Seattle's Circus Contraption.



Oh, the Sprockettes really kicked ass, too. I just didn't have a good shot :(

If you'd like to find out more about the live webcasting Disco Trike shoot an email to dan (at) pdxk dot com
